Ask HN: How do you get organized?

Hey HN,

I'm in desperate need of some help getting organized. I recently started a new gig at a big tech company after a bunch of startups. I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed due to the volume of stuff I need to keep tabs on, report on, etc.

In discussions with my manager he suggested I figure out some system to get organized and mentioned Getting Things Done.

For anyone who has struggled through this before, what did you do? Can you share some thoughts/tips/systems/encouragement?
